About the author The main difference between a steam iron and a steam generator iron is that steam generators have separate large water tanks, which are much more convenient and have a larger capacity to produce more steam. It also means the handheld iron is lightweight without any water in it.

The Russell Hobbs Powersteam has a nice clear water tank and, despite the box and online promotional material saying it had a 350ml capacity, it takes 400ml to fill the tank to the “max” mark. Fabrics can acquire shiny patches if they are ironed at too high temperatures. Try a lower temperature setting. As with other steam irons, the Powersteam Ultra is controlled by a temperature dial underneath the handle. On the top of the handle, there are the spray buttons and steam shot buttons, with a slider in between the two to adjust the steam setting. The buttons are chunky and the slide moves smoothly from top to bottom, so the whole thing feels very user-friendly. The Powersteam Ultra has a soft touch, easy grip handle, which means it is comfortable to hold.Today, we will shed some light on the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100 W Vertical Steam Iron 20630.
